My Interest In Comics/Manga
by Miles “okpank” Perzewski
Back in the day, the big comic for me was Batman. Anything Batman for around a dollar I’d love to get. That may be my first run in with comics. I’ve lived in Madison my whole life. Around 1998 for my birthday my dad gave me some comics from Westfield, never even knew the place existed before that. I picked up other comics as well like Sonic the Hedgehog and Tomb Raider, along with some KISS stuff. Since then I still have a bunch of Batman comics, but I have not purchased any Batman or superhero comics in general for a long time. The main things that interest me are Sonic the Hedgehog comics, Manga, and toys.
One Piece – Way Better Than Any Can Imagine!
by Miles Perzewski
If any of you have ever even slightly liked DragonBall, then One Piece is what you should be interested in! One Piece is so good, it’s not even funny. In Japan, One Piece is more popular then both Naruto and Bleach combined! People just need to give it a try.
My first encounter with One Piece was way back in 2003 when Shonen Jump first came to the US. All I can say is there wasn’t a whole lot of appeal just by looking at it. I never even read it or gave it a chance. Even years later when my friend said how great it was, I still didn’t listen. I think the main reason for all this is it couldn’t even be viewed due to 4 Kids horribly butchering the anime to utter garbage. I had no involvement with the series til FUNimation came along and announced they had acquired the rights to dub (and completely save) the show. This happened in late 2007/early 2008 and is when I became interested in the series.
Naruto Shippuden to Air on Disney XD
by Miles Perzewski
News has sprung that VIZ struck a deal with Disney Channel to air Naruto Shippuden on their Disney XD block! Starting this October, we here in the US will finally get the chance to see the new series. Since this will be airing on Disney, it will be in an edited format. All those waiting to hear the English dub, it’s right in this package as well. Just don’t forget, if you only want uncut episodes you’ll have to go with the DVDs that will soon be coming out.
